This video covers some common leaf spring pinion angle challenges and how to correct your pinion angle. I discuss pinion angle shims for leaf springs that act as wedges to rotate the pinion either positive or negative. I also cover some key ways to understand how much more pinion angle a leaf spring rear end needs over a traditional 4 link or ladder bar setup with coilover shocks.
